hubby got up so he made me go back to bed,(bad hubby ) lol

Ok rest for awhile !
I was checking your shelves out again how talented for your husband to put those marble like tiles on your shelves. Really makes them very stylish fancy looking ! Your plants look great on them !

Your plants are gorgeous! I love that big window you have to put your shelves in front of! And the pot with the legs is adorable, as well as the gardening glove! Too cute!

There is nothing like a windows full of african violets !

Eunice I love the lace curtains. Is there a hot part of the
day you must close the to protect your plants ?
LACE CURTAINS are great for windows too sunny for AV"S protects them !

Violet_Treasure
oh yes about 1 oclock the sun is really getting hot,sometime have to close blinds a little.
i would love to leave my curtains closed all the time but since im into violets (lol) im afraid might not be enought light on them.sure does get hot in here with blinds open and curtains to,but anything far plants, lightbill might become a little to much,but will wait and see,
RainGazer
oh i love my windows,more now since i got the violets,i found them in the book i order out of, nothing over $14.99 and on line sometime a lot cheaper here,s the url far it
www.collectionsetc.com it has a lot of neat things far your yard

nannanavarro
thank you far likeing my shelves, hubby found some black tile with white streakes running through it so we put that on it, took 2 boxes,20 in a box
now my plants don,t fall over.

I have windows with blinds that have to be closed in the afternoon also. But light still comes in as it gets so bright and hot. lace curtains are perfect for protecting your plants ! I'm sure they are getting enough lights as their so happy !

YOur plants look wonderful and the shelves are great. Your pots are just too cute! I love them.

aprilwillis
thanks a bunch,i got some small ones thats is animails.this is the best picture i could get of these,these violets are all from allison

starfly,

I just love all of your plants and the way you have them set up. I have metal shelves similar to yours but it looks like you have put down something to make yours look more "homey" and not so "sterile" like mine. What did you use on your shelves?

Jesse

Oh I love all your decorating with your plants too Eunice. Where did you ever get the animal holders ? Same place. You find the most adorable plant holders !

PS Eunice just love your wallpaper with the romantic red curtain ! Your window shelf with the lights is perfect love it too.
Stunning windows photo's should be going in AV and Home and gardning decorating magazines.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures ! I really enjoy them !

I have some floor tile that look like that. My whole kitchen was tiled using this particular floor tile. I just never thought about using it on my shelves. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Jesse

thats what i wanted to put down on my kitchen floor,but i got voted out,got hardwood floors instead,more work.

Starfly, I love your pots! They are all so cute, even cuter with the AVs in them. I hope all my leaves turn into babies that look as good as you plants!

achoogardner
thank you,im just learning about violets,i have killed a few along the way.yes i found them pots in a catologe collections etc.they have all kind of neat stuff far house and yard,and really cheap nothing over $14.98 heres the url if you want it www.collectionsetc.com
they have some neat bird feeders and flower pots you nane it they got it

Thanks! I 'll check it out.

I know my husband would have picked wood floors too. But they sure look nice on your shelves like fancy marbel shelves !

I have wood floors that I'll trade you for carpet. I hate the wood floors. The dust that usually sits in the carpet fibers until you vacuum just go swirling around in the air all the time. Plus Zackary's fur does the same thing. But I think I'm the world's worst "water-spiller". I cannot make it from the bathroom to the front room without spilling some out of my watering can. So I guess wood is better for that.

And I agree, they do look really pretty on your shelves. Starfly I think you have a beautiful set up for all of your plants. I have 3 of those racks but mine are 6 feet tall. I want to order and extra set of poles and make mine about the height of yours. I love the way that yours look. You are doing a great job with all of your plants.

Jesse

I'm going to set my new pretties up today ! And take pictures. I have plants on the hands already. These pretties will be the center of attraction on my shelf !

I took some cute pictures this morning and will post them later of all the Pretties Eunice sent me along with the African violets now being held by them ! Their adorable and sure cheer up my shelf !
